Networked Recruiter Event on May 28, 2008 in Fort Lauderdale

Jimmy Tam who puts in a hard days work at Ryder Systems in Miami sent me this:

Join us for the Fort Lauderdale Networked Recruiter Event

Wednesday May 28th, 2008 
6.00 - 8:00PM at the  HardRock

Networked Recruiter facilitates a friendly atmosphere without product announcements, speeches, or an event fee. This event is simply to build relationships with like minded professionals; attendees are responsible for their expenses.

Networked Recruiter is intended for professionals in HR, Recruiting, Staffing Agencies, BD, and Account Management, but everyone is welcome. As a candidate or vendor, this is a great venue if you are looking to locate a recruiter you can trust.

This will be our first event in Ft. Lauderdale so I hope a lot of recruiters (staffing / corporate / independents) will be there. Of course, everyone is welcome. Should be a good time with plenty of socializing.

You can get the scoop on the Recruiter Network site.
